Wall Doors America
Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality - your soul, if you will - is as bright and shining as any that has ever been. bright as shakespeare’s, bright as gandhi’s, bright as mother theresa’s. clear away everything that keeps you separate from this secret luminous place. believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.

I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but i don't know if i ever quite communicated what i saw when i said it. but in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, god-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get there. that's how i saw it, and see it still.

I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.

Do you know what causes low voter turnout in america? it's the result of having the fate of our nation at stake. this began with the bitter presidential election of 1828, which pitted the education, cultivation, and puritan constraint of john quincy adams against the yahoo populism of andrew jackson, thereby deciding permanently whether america would become a shining city upon a hill or an overlighted strip mall along a highway.
